Bush's Botched War
Now that the election is behind is, here is the kind of Bush news we can expect over the next four years:
From the AP:
--Gunmen kidnapped a Lebanese-American businessman — the second U.S. citizen seized this week in Baghdad — and videotape Wednesday showed the beheadings of three Iraqi National Guardsmen and an Iraqi officer.
--Elsewhere, a U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded in a roadside bombing 12 miles south of the capital.
--On Tuesday, insurgents blew up an oil pipeline and an oil well in northern Iraq in a pair of attacks that shut down oil exports from the north, probably for the next 10 days, Iraqi oil officials said.
Come to think of it, there is a kind of justice to the fact that Bush/Cheney will have to clean up their own mess in Iraq rather than passing it off to a more capable administration. I hope, for the sake of our soldiers, they put more time into planning at this stage (after the fact) than they did before the war began. Perhaps the importance of actually having a plan, having the troops needed to secure weapons and explosives, and having a strategy for winning the peace will sink in before we go to war with Iran.
